Verse 1:
      F
I was raised off of Rural Route 3,
    C
out past where the blacktop ends,
F
We'd walk to church on Sunday mornin'
         Bb
and race barefoot back to Johnson's fence
F
    That's where I first saw Mary,
C
    On that roadside pickin' blackberries,
Dm                                Bb                  C        F
   that summer I turned a corner in my soul down that red dirt road

Chorus:
F  
It's where I drank my first beer,
C
    It's where I found Jesus,
Dm
    Where I wrecked my first car
  Bb
I tore it all to pieces,
F
    I learned the path to heaven,
C
    Is full of sinners and believers,
Dm
    Learned that happiness on earth,
      Bb
Ain't just for high achievers,
     Gm                    F 
I've learned, I've come to know,
                Bb        C                  F   C   Dm
there's life at both ends   of that red dirt road

Verse 2:
     F
Her daddy didn't like me much,
      C
In my shackled up GTO,
F
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night,
       Bb
Throw rocks at her bedroom window,
F
    We'd turn out the headlights,
C
    Drive by the moonlight,
Dm                                   Bb
    Talk about what the future might hold,
          C        F
Down that red dirt road,

Chorus:
F  
It's where I drank my first beer,
C

  Bb
I tore it all to pieces,
F
    I learned the path to heaven,
C
    Is full of sinners and believers,
Dm
    Learned that happiness on earth,
      Bb
Ain't just for high achievers,
     Gm                    F

I went out into the world,
      Bb
And I came back in,
Gm           F 
    I lost Mary,
              Bb
Oh, I got her back again
Gm                     F 
    And driving home tonight
                     Bb        C    Csus4
Feels like I found a long lost friend,
